Reykjavik

A snow flurry in Laugavegur, a short distance from Hotel Fron. As evening descends, the camera has decided to fire the flash,
which has brightly lit the nearby snowflakes.
The view from our bedroom window at Hotel Fron, looking northwards across rusty corrugated iron roofs to the sea and the snow-covered mountains.
Zoomed in on the previous picture, showing the mountains on the other side of the bay.
Starship One - the Hallgrimskirkja church.
Wild birds take advantage of this ice-free area of the Tjörnin lake near the Parliament building - note the geothermally-heated
water pouring in from the spouts on the right.
Whooper Swans and Mallard.
Greylag geese join the Whooper swans.
Orange bill, pink feet - definitely a Greylag goose.
Meanwhile, in the distance, a cyclist rides across the frozen lake.
In the basement of the Parliament building, there's a scale model of Iceland - this small section shows the area around Eyjafjallajökull,
which caused much disruption to air traffic in Europe in 2010 from its immense ash cloud.
